my fiancée said "pieces of wood through the chest are notorious for bypassing immortality" when i mentioned the alchemist in the beginning of the movie not surviving such an event and zie really did not know how right zie was
really, a bold choice to have a movie whose plot centers about something an alchemist devised to grant eternal life have it work by just turning you into a vampire hehe
cronos spoilers
dude's just a vampire at this point. finds blood very tasty, harmed by sunlight, doesn't die.
